Strikes on Russia: escalation has already taken place in Russians’ minds 

And here I would like to draw attention to the following important, in my opinion, points.

1. Russian propaganda has already told the Russian population that not only has the West already given permission for Ukraine to use its missiles, but that these missiles have already been used on Russian territory. That is, in the reality in which propagandists have plunged Russia, the entire escalation has already taken place.

The Biden administration is worried that no one thinks that the U.S. is involved in a war against Russia.

So, Peskov directly states that the official position of the Russian Federation is that the United States is already a party to the war. The Kremlin is not above reassurances and appeasement.

And this is important, because for the Putin regime, everything has already happened, the Russian population is already waiting for some kind of reaction, so whether Biden officially announces something or not, it will not stop the escalation on the part of the Russian Federation. Because the Kremlin has already started this escalation and is proactively using rhetoric to justify it.

2. In my opinion, the Russian regime has also already planned its further escalation actions. This is evident from the rhetoric used by Russian propagandists to justify it. And now the propagandists are justifying the state terrorism of the Russian Federation.

Therefore, I assume that the Russian regime will continue to use terrorist attacks, including in Western countries, as its main means. Support for terrorist and subversive groups. And systematic terror of the civilian population of Ukraine. Accordingly, this will be the main challenge in the coming months.
